Looking Like You Play Polo

Polo. The sport of kings. Also, the sport with the sharpest-looking gear. And hey, the US Open Polo
Championship is happening right now in Palm Beach. Weird. You should go. And dress the part. Here’s how.

FOR YOUR FEET

Deceptively Tough Leather Boots

Yup, you’re going to need boots. Ones that can go from the field to post-match cocktails with that
Monegasque duchess. These’ll do. They’re made with hand-stitched leather and the same foam cushioning
that’s used in NFL gear. If it’s good enough for Tannehill, it’s good enough for you.

A Crewneck That States the Obvious

In case there’s any question about your affiliation: this. A cotton crewneck with the words “Polo
Team” emblazoned across the chest. Which, you know, not exactly subtle. It’s from Etiqueta Negra—the
same guys who have their own polo team in Argentina. But you probably already knew that.

A Trusty Mallet

Here’s the thing about mallets: you can’t play polo without them. Also, they make a tremendous
conversation starter. This one in particular is handcrafted by South America’s premier mallet maker.
It’s got leather grips, tipa-wood heads, which... you don’t really know what that means, but it sounds
impressive.

It’s a Whip. Yes, a Whip.

Polo players can carry around whips without it being weird and awkward. Fact. Here, try it. And when you do,
use a whip from a local outfit like Jockey Tack. They’ll let you customize the color, the size and the
flex. We assume you’re particular about those things.
